1/48 Roden OV-1 Mowhawk

"B"

This is the Roden OV-1B. It is the only OV-1 in 1/48th scale and comes with some impresive detail.There is a

full complement of weapons even though they are not mentioned in the instructions( the "B" model was almost exclusively used unarmed)

There is nice cockpit and landing gear detail and although it is not mentioned in the inbstructions, the canopy can be

positioned opened with a small amount of work.

There are markings for 3 different aircraft:

N171, U.S. Department of the interior, 1971

59-2673, U.S. Army, Vietnam, 1967

64-14270, U.S. Army, Vietnam, 1967
